Join the people of Clarke County as they “Finish the Fight” against cancer.
The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Clarke County will take place 6 p.m. to midnight Friday, June 12, at Clarke Community High School’s track. There will be fun, food, music and a lot of walking as people raise money in the fight against cancer.
The night starts out with the “Survivor and Caregiver Lap,” where they celebrate and support those who are fighting or have had cancer. Later, at dark, watch as the track is illuminated with candles as participants remember those who fought cancer during the emotional luminaria ceremony.
Throughout the night, participants walk, dance, sing, enjoy the fun and support of those who want to make cancer a thing of the past. As participants wind down at midnight, they vow to “Fight Back” against cancer.
Everyone is welcome to attend. Come enjoy the fun with lots to do for the whole family. As an added incentive, all registered walkers will have a chance to win a 60-inch color television courtesy of Walmart, as well as other prizes such as a Lakeside Casino “staycation.”
For questions, contact Karen Irwin at 641-572-0100.. To register as a walker or a survivor go to www.relayforlife.org/clarkecountyia. Registration is free and your support is needed. Come join the fun and help us "Finish the Fight!"
